We have a problem with USB printer (HP LaserJet 1010).
After power up or reboot, sometimes the USB printer is
not detected. The /dev/usb doesn't even exist. If we
unplug and then reconnect the USB cable, the printer
will work fine. I placed the following line in
rc.local. 

exec /etc/hotplug/usb.rc restart

Things improved a little but the problem still happens
from time to time.

Since we are putting these systems in remote
locations, it is not practical to send someone there
to unplug the USB cable or type above command. Any
suggestions is greatly appreciated. I would hate to
see us switch to the other OS.
